Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 371 - 141: Golden Cicada’s Shell, Moving into the Triple Gate

Chapter 371: Chapter 141: Golden Cicada’s Shell, Moving into the Triple Gate

However, unlike the usual specimens that are dry and yellowed, this flower remains vividly red, as if reminding the beholder... it’s still alive.

Like a snake frozen in an icy cave or soaked in strong liquor, perhaps it will deliver a lethal strike when you’re not vigilant.

Jing Baikou said, "This is the Rebirth Flower Demon, appearing extremely deceptive, much like an ordinary flower. But as soon as you open the crystal box compressing it, it will rapidly absorb the water from the air..."

He glanced at the Flower Demon’s roots and said, "Then, it will sprint away."

"Afterward, if it touches the soil, it will quickly scatter seeds and begin to reproduce. If left unchecked, in no time, this place will turn into a Sea of Rebirth Flowers."

"Master Li, look at its petals; they have a terrifying stickiness. If you accidentally touch them, you’ll get stuck, and then it will cause hallucinations...

If you’re unable to fly and don’t escape with all your might right from the beginning, you’ll end up getting stuck by more and more flowers, collapsing in a sea of blooms within an illusion, becoming its nutrients."

"This thing, Mortal Fire can’t burn it. Instead, it spreads hallucinogenic toxins.

To truly burn it, you’d need the beast-bone carbon used for Forged Soldiers.

But where can you find so much beast-bone carbon to burn this thing?"

Jing Baikou narrated.

Li Yuan curiously asked, "Then how was it caught in the first place?"

Jing Baikou replied, "With poison, but it requires a toxin potent enough to knock out a Sixth Grade...

And this Flower Demon can only run with its main body, not the flowers it propagates.

After all, it’s a demon, lacking brains. When frightened by toxins, it fled, and then I used airborne methods to capture it.

If it weren’t foolish, who knows how many methods we would have needed..."

"I see..." Li Yuan nodded.

He realized the value of this Flower Demon.

Simply put, it’s about "terrain division."

True, the terrain divided by this Flower Demon can’t obstruct "Fifth Grade or above masters," but it certainly serves as a terrifying barrier against Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade, and even most skeletal warriors.

It’s safe to say that if someone at the Divine Wood Hall could control the "Rebirth Flower Demon," even if they did nothing else, just surrounding the Divine Wood Hall with these flowers would render those below Fifth Grade from the Lotus Sect, and many skeletal warriors, useless, almost negating their role in a siege battle.

If such flowers were used to block a gorge, the enemy would be forced to take a detour...

This is a "high-level warfare useless, but extremely strategic" demon beast.

Li Yuan suddenly asked, "Ancestor, how many seeds can be scattered in an hour?"

Jing Baikou replied, "Four seeds.

However, once the seeds land, it only takes an hour for them to bloom into flowers, then form new seeds.

The new seeds will continue to propagate, growing new flowers, endlessly..."

Li Yuan: ...

He would not naively think that just sixteen flowers within two hours are something to fear.

It’s important to know that if left unchecked and it grows smoothly, theoretically, in one day, there will be four to the twelfth power of Rebirth Flowers.

That could be tens of millions, correct?

If for two days, wouldn’t it be four to the twenty-fourth power of Rebirth Flowers?

What kind of joke is this?

He corrected his thinking. This isn’t merely a "high strategic value" demon beast, but rather... a "City-Slaying Holy Artifact."

With just a single small flower planted in a city, in just one day, wouldn’t the city turn into hell?

"Is there a limit to reproduction?" Li Yuan asked.

Jing Baikou replied, "This flower prefers yin-dark and damp environments. In dry, sandy soil, or under the scorching sun, its reproduction speed is extremely slow...

Additionally, the Flower Demon’s personality itself is likely to be foolish and docile. When we initially found it, it only remained in a shadowy chasm and didn’t venture out because the sunlight outside was too strong, and it was too lazy to leave."

Li Yuan asked again, "Have you tried feeding it Demon Beast Meat?"

Jing Baikou replied, "No, because it may result in unknown changes. So, we’ve been waiting for a Demon Tamer.

Master Li, our Divine Wood Hall does have Dharma Gate for taming plant-type demon beasts, but this Dharma Gate is extremely difficult to learn.

There are skills, but some disciples specifically chosen to learn this method have only glimpsed its surface...

Since Master Li has exhibited such talent, this Dharma Gate will surely be available for you to study.

Once Master Li has mastered it, this Sixth Grade Rebirth Flower Demon will be given to you."

As the two spoke, suddenly, in the distance outside the door, a crimson glow erupted, staining the joyous night with extreme yang and blood, twisting the scene as if numerous scarlet octopus tentacles stretched skyward, writhing from time to time.

Under the bright moon, a figure transcendent over the Inner City darted through the air, landing steadily in the Jing family’s courtyard as if an unshakable mountain, calmly residing there.

With this figure’s arrival, several other figures flew over.

Li Yuan glanced at Jing Baikou.

Jing Baikou quickly went out.

Li Yuan followed closely behind.

Arriving at the landing place, they saw the previously mentioned Qing Hancheng standing with hands at his back in the courtyard, a black-robed, red-striped unconscious woman at his feet.

At this moment, Qing Hancheng’s aura was exceptionally terrifying, his formally tied hair had come loose, and flames of red light flowed on him. In this red glow, his face once full of righteousness now bore unrestrained dominance.

Just by standing there, Li Yuan felt like a small boat swaying in the roaring waves.
